Legal Question in Personal Injury in California

Wrongly accused in a parking lot accident

6 mo. ago I was in a parking lot and I was accused of backing into a vehicle. The guy called the police department and said it was a hit and run. The person gave them my license plate number and a police officer tracked me down and he looked at my vehicle and I had no damage and the officer said nothing matched up with the guys vehicle, and the officer told me the guy had a lot of old dents and dings on his vehicle. The officer took pictures of my vehicle and took a report. I called my insurance that very same day and told them what I was being accused of and gave them the officers name and badge #. I never heard anymore and today my insurance called me about an accident, and I did not know what they were talking about until they mentioned the parking lot. My insurance said that the guys insurance may not have ordered a police report, my insurance is ordering one and I am bringing my vehicle to a auto body shop in a few days so they can do some measuring and look for any damage, this is 6 mo. later. If nothing is done as far as my insurance having to pay out a claim, can I subpoena the police officer and take this person to court? I swear it's not about the money it's about the head aches and stress it's caused me.
